Friday Five

I’m OFF today! (does a little happy dance!) Of course, there was a work thing that had to be scheduled today and couldn’t be scheduled for a different day so I’ve got my phone about me in case. Blargh. It’s always the way, right?

-  So on my list of things to do is that I want to get all my expected house chores that I want done, DONE. In the morning, before I have a change to sit down and do nothing. I want to run laundry, clean my bedroom and bathroom and reorganize my shoes. And clean the kitchen. This honestly shouldn’t take long but it will be nice to have it done before the weekend.

- Then I also have on my list to go to a movie, but I’m still deciding what that should be. I want to see Star Wars but C wants to see it again too (he already saw it with the boys. Would it be fair to wait? Will I get screwed? Or should I see Joy or The Big Short or The Danish Girl or any other of the movies I hadn’t heard of until the Golden Globes. I wish there was a good romantic comedy out. I love them and C doesn’t, and it’s the perfect thing for me to watch on my own.

-   It was a bad week for deaths in entertainment. And really, a bad last 30 days.

-   Two weeks into Whole 30 and I’ve lost 7.8 pounds. It hasn’t been completely clean but I’m working at it. Last night I honest to God cheated in a hurried hormonal mess. I felt terrible about it but I'm going to keep going.

- I missed the last season of Downton Abbey and I haven't watched this one yet, so I started rewatching the first four seasons over the last week. I stayed up late last night to finish the fourth and now I'm starting on new content for me. I'm not good with new content - I watch so little actual television (even though actually I'd like to watch! I just lose time somehow!) and I'm afraid of it, somehow. I don't know how to explain. I don't want to get hooked and miss something. I don't want to get too tied to the characters. I ... oh I don't know. I'm enjoying it though.

Another blogger just alerted me to the fact that I can see most of Downton Abbey via the PBS website, which changes *everything*. I wanted to watch it, after so many recommendations, but it isn't available to stream on Netflix and I didn't want to pay for all of it on iTunes. But now that I can see almost every episode for free, I might have to start watching it. We almost always have the tv on at home, mostly for background noise. We're both such quiet people, that if we left it off, it would mostly be silent, so we turn it on, and then either mute or pause if we have something to say/talk about. So while I "watch" a bunch of shows, I'm really only *invested* in (as in no multitasking, must give it my full attention when it's on) just a few. But we make use of both DVR and Brighthouse's OnDemand channels, so I rarely worry about missing my favorite shows. (Holy long winded, Dawn!)
